Helpful ReplyHot!Skunk hash vapourisers

Got my cheap chinese glassware through. Loving it, very recommended for a tenner. They call them Nectar Collecters but that's just a name for a small upright bubbler more than actually collecting anything. Vapor is smooth as a pornstar's chuff now...

Its for the mrs as she wants to give up tobacco, something easily used/serviceable etc would probably be a good shout.

Hi mate,

So your mrs is moving from spliffs to a vaporiser, good stuff!

There's lots of options so if you can answer a couple of bits that'd get us started. Does she want something just for home use? Does it need to be portable / pocket-able for on the go? What sort of an experience is she looking for? There's both analogue (jet lighter heated mostly) and battery / digital vapes. Analogue gives you, in my experience an experience closer to smoking / one-hitting (in the motion sense - there's still no combustion) and digital is more geared up towards longer sessions.

So if you look back over the last 10 pages or so - you'll see info and pictures about a product called the M by DynaVap - a £50 analogue vape which you pack a little bit of green into the end of the vape and then heat the chamber using a butane lighter. It looks a bit cracky but it's really simple with good flavour and good effects. I've also recently recommended a product called Sticky Brick Jr. which is a nice analogue wooden/glass vape but this might be a bit tricker to get used to. These sorts of vapes take all of 5 seconds to heat up and then you're hitting them.

If digital / battery is the way to go then I can recommend the Storz & Bickel Mighty. This is a portable vape which allows you to change the heat-up temperature so she will be able to control the high a bit more. Anything from 160deg is a light head buzz and anything from about 180deg onwards is couch / sit down stoned. You simply use +/- buttons on the device to change the temp. It has a decent sized battery and can last for longer sessions. I absolutely loved my Crafty (the smaller version) - the taste was amazing BUT the battery was shit. So the Mighty is better with a battery upgrade. Expensive though, like £250. I also hear a lot of love for the Arizer Air but I've not used this so can't comment personally. These types of vapes tend to take 2/3 minutes to heat up and then once you've had a hit it cools down / heats back up etc. I genuinely prefer the quickness and authentic feel of an analogue vaporiser more these days.

Personally, I'd recommend the DynaVap M with a decent jet lighter like a Vertigo (on Amazon). Loads of people on here have grabbed them after I recommended and they're really happy with it. I'll post some videos below of how to use it so you can show the mrs and see what she thinks. For £47 you can't go wrong and it's an awesome product for a first step into vaporising weed.

Hope that helps. Probably not my most coherent post but kinda high already.

Depends how long you're heating for. I sometimes go a second or two beyond the click to get a slightly bigger hit. I can hit a 25% bowl 3 times more often than not. I don't know how many more hits you'd get out of the M because of the extra capacity in the chamber. Just pop the top off and look at the colour of the bud - if it's looking light brown then I normally repack then. I don't like to go too brown, it starts to taste like burnt popcorn. Some people like to get everything out of it. Some people change their bowl when it's still green/brown.

Up to you really - as long as it's not combusting.

For some reason I have the view you would use more than a traditional British J (given how we make them compared to other places) in one of these but I am sure I am wrong

I was tempted to get one of these, but to be honest, I'm trying to wean myself off getting high.

At home I currently have some pretty strong grade, some pretty strong pollen, and some pretty weak hash.

I'm enjoying smoking one or two spliffs of the weak hash every evening instead of any of the rest of it, it's like it gets rid of my craving for a spliff but without really getting me stoned...sounds very backwards but it's working for me right now lol

SmokedEggsit's very good. bit underwhelmed by how much actual vapour I can get out of it though, but I probably haven't filled the chamber up enough.

Are you using the M? You don't have to fill the chamber necessarily but it does help.

I assume you're grinding your bud down nice and fine? Also, if you're using a jet lighter - try heating for just 1 - 2 seconds after the click / cap popping. Literally just an extra couple of seconds, no longer or you'll combust - this will give you the bigger clouds of vapour you seek.

simon.rI've accidentally got my dynavap to combust, it's sore on the old throat.

haha, yeah man it's harsh.

empty it out (obviously), give it a little clean with iso on a q-tip - leave it to air out for a bit and then fill with weed and just crack on using it again. the taste will eventually go away and it'll be back to normal.

I was cleaning out the oven on my IQ the other day, at the bottom the vapour pathway goes through 5 holes like the spots on a dice. There is an included pick which you can clean these with and the centre broke leaving a large square hole where the old holes were. So I found a pipe gauze in a draw and cut it to size, carried on using it and contacted davinci on the warranty.

Sent in a picture and just got the message back that they are shipping me a new one and no need to send in the old so that's a bonus. Back-up vape.

I use the smart paths, so on a whole bowl I'll have two sessions. Smart path one slowly rises from 178-188degC over ten minutes, then when I next want a go I'll use smart path two which goes from 188-198degC.

Really recommend getting the spacers to limit the amount of herb needed to fill the bowl, I was going through a stupid amount prior to obtaining them.
